The fighting fish in particular are very suited to such a tank, which is actually rather spacious compared to the small holes in rice paddies that are their natural habitat.

If you don’t know the fighting fish, they are a beautiful creature that is actually rather intelligent and makes a lovely pet. Originally from Thailand and Cambodia, they live in tiny, shallow ponds and have developed the ability to breathe both air and water.Because they live in still water, their fins are not needed for much swimming, and so have developed into elaborate displays of colour. They are fairly hardy, living in water with a P.H. of 6.0 to 7.5, and with a temperature range of 23-27 degrees.

The males are the most colourful, but are aggressive and will fight with other males. Hence they are best off in a small, colourful tank by themselves.
